GC Puts Three on PBC Men’s Cross Country All-Academic Team

AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Georgia College
men’s cross country program has placed three runners on the
Peach Belt Conference (PBC) All-Academic Team, as announced by the
conference office in Augusta, Ga. Wednesday afternoon.

Senior Dan Horseman (Cohutta, Ga.) heads the
team, earning the distinction for his 3.68 GPA in Outdoor
Education. Horseman was also a vital piece to the cross country
team on the field this season, leading the Bobcats in three of his
six races he competed in.

This marks Horseman’s second consecutive year on the PBC
All-Academic squad, while also garnering his second All-PBC Second
Team honor in the process.

Forbes competed in five of GC’s six races this season,
with his best race coming in a 28:04 8K effort at the ASU
Invitational. The athletic training major currently owns a 3.46 GPA
in his third year at Georgia College.

Laskey, a pre-engineering student, has compiled a perfect 4.0
GPA in his two-year stint with the ‘Cats, competing in five
races in 2011. He posted a top-10 finish at the Bobcat
Invitational, tearing up the 8K home course in just 28:53 for an
eighth place finish.

The Bobcats will head to Charlotte, N.C. Saturday, Nov. 5 to
compete in the NCAA Southeast Regional Championship.
